except the telegraph property owned by tha
Burlington railroad, which was Inoludcd In

the duties of the state board and last year
tha assessed valuation of telegraph prop-f

records of the State Board of Assessment
do not show even at what It valued the
telegraph property owned by the Burling

(Prom a Stall Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., July 15.-Strenuous ef
forts are being- made by many of the denv
ocratlo and populist leaders In the state
to get together on the nominees for two
state offices, governor and secretary of
state. If an agreement cannot' be made
on the entire state ticket, which at this
time seems very Improbable. The plan as
outlined today by a prominent democrat
is to allow the democrats to nominate
one of the two candidates and the populists
the other, the first obstacle to be over
come being who Is to name the gubernato
rial candidate. Without doubt the demo
crats would stand for populist Judge Hol
comb and there Is little doubt but that
he would consent to take the fusion nom
ination, but the populists, or at least those
who pretend to be the leaders of the pop
ulists, are anxious that Senator Allen be
the nominee and falling In landing him
they are willing to sacrifice Attorney Serge
of this city.
For secretary of stats so far down here
there has been little tulk of the candidate
except In a general way.
After agreement has been made on gov.
ernor and secretary of state the plan as
outlined is for the populists and democrats
to each nominate tho remaining candidates
on the two tickets independent of the
other. They figure that this plan is good
for the reason that it will show once for

Tibbies Opposes Fusion. .
The Independent, the leading populist
paper of tho state, of which T. H. Tibbies,
nominee for vice president, Is editor, is
against fusion. It has this to say in today's
Issue:
The parting of the ways has been
reached. When a man of Mr. Bryan's great
ability so far p'nees party above principles
as to anpport the man he denounced In his
Chicago address as an unfit man for presi
dent, simply and only for the sake of
"party regularity" surely less gifted pop
ulists cannot be blamed for being 'reg
ular," especially when they have such a
brilliant leader as Watson and such a
platform as that adopted at Springfield.
Fusion in Nebraska is done. In the past
the populists here have Joined hands with
the democrats In carrying on state cam
paigns, and they have no regrets because
of it, for the democrats then stood for the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms. Hut
co-operation with Parker democrats Is un
thinkable. "The parting of the ways" is
reached. Former "Bryan democrats" and
"Bryan populists" must now choose
whether they will become Parker demo
crats or Watson populists. Mr. Bryan him
self has declared his Intention of becoming
a Parker democrat until the election is
over. That is his personal privilege.
Bryan Made by Popnllsts.
Down in New York and other eastern
states Bryan has always been called a
populist, and seldom a democrat. There
were good reasons for this designation. The
populists of this state made Bryan. When
he ran for congress the first time it was
the populist vote that elected him.
In his second campaign, two weeks before
the election. It was generally conceded
that Bryan would be defeated. The editor
of the Independent, when Informed of the
desperate situation, sat down and wrote 1S7
letters to populists in the district, urging
populists to vote for Bryan. About 170 re
plies were received stating that the writers
would, because of the request, vote for
Bryan. His majority was only 147.
Twice the people's party nominated him
for president and loyally supported him,
even when such action wus a threat
against the very existence of the populist
party. For twelve years the populists of
Nebraska have sacrificed and worked for
Mr. Bryan. It was the fact that the pop
ulists had polled more than l.Oifl.OUO votes
for their own candidate for president that
made Bryan's nomination at Chicago pos
sible. They did this because all these years
Mr. Bryan was advocating populist principles.
of election.
The populists are figuring that most of
the Bryan democrats will vote for Watson
and Tibbies though they do not deny that
many will vote for the republican national
ticket, and that only the reorganises who
were conspicuous before the nomination of
Parker will vote for him. They believe,
or at least one of them said, that Parke.
will get only a nominal vote in this state
probably not more than 15. C00, If that many
Whether the democrats will Indorse the
national platform for the canddates to
